Iran is the only country in the world that 'officially' executes children. According to the United Nations, a child is a person under the age of 18. Despite the fact that Iran has signed International Covenants that forbid them to execute anyone who has allegedly committed an offence before the age of 18, they continue to do so. Since 1990, Amnesty International has recorded 24 executions of child offenders and over the last couple of years the rate is increasing. Currently, there are at least 79 minors on death row in Iran. Time is of the essence. Together we will make them STOP the execution of minors!

Spend a little time each day to think of those beings less fortunate than you. Think of the women being raped as an act of war in darfur, think of the animals being used for our food and comfort. Think of the poor and dispossessed. Think of the earth as we rape her for oil and kill her forests. Think of the wild animals we are causing entire species of to disappear as if they had never been.Then think what can i do to make a difference no matter how small?
No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.Eleanor Roosevelt,
"Sea-Fever"I must down to the seas again, to the lonely sea and the sky, And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by, And the wheel's kick and the wind's song and the white sail's shaking, And a grey mist on the sea's face, and a grey dawn breaking.I must down to the seas again, for the call of the running tide Is a wild call and a clear call that may not be denied; And all I ask is a windy day with the white clouds flying, And the flung spray and the blown spume, and the sea-gulls crying.I must down to the seas again, to the vagrant gypsy life, To the gull's way and the whale's way where the wind's like a whetted knife; And all I ask is a merry yarn from a laughing fellow-rover And quiet sleep and a sweet dream when the long trick's over.By John Masefield (1878-1967).
*recent pet additions are just a gentle and fun reminder that animals come in all shapes and sizes and have many diverse needs. my particular favoites are of course Jemmy my long term ginger hedgehog, every autum when traditionally we have bonfires to burn garden debris, bonfire night, we pile up garden wood and foliage leave it often a hedgehog comes along and settle down to hibernate then we light up the fire without checking to see if it is free of wildlife first, not to mention ow many get hut by cars year in and year out.Esmerelda the spider the reminder that spiders may be creepy to some of us but are essential and oddly beautiful.Gytha showing us bats have many resoures we do not credit them with.Percy saying pigs may like mud but they are clean and fun and inteligent.Bear Bear showing that pandas need our protection and by extention so do bamboo forests.Terence, turtles are endangered lets do all we can to stop virtual and captive turtles being the only turtles we see.Gerald the rabbit, he is just fun and fabulous so much more than laboratory equiptment.Jemima, hamsters may be sene as easily replacable commodities for children but they have persoanlties and needs to.Lavinia the penguin showing the wonderful diversity of marine life on the earth of ours.emmy is just plain fun, but also maybe we can see that chicks grow into chickens and maybe they deserve to be kept in proper free range conditions than in evil battery cages.And of course they are all just plain fun in a peaceful kinda way :)Although we have changed look and feel to look more at the earth and its power and pain, at the aniamls living upon the earth in pain.There will still be music bulletins and HR bulletins because we are all connected, as every drop of water is from the ocean we are all from the same source, life, all life is connected in a way that maybe if we stopped putting ourselves as higher than all life as being "gods chosen" maybe if we stopped being so "chosen" we would hear the earth and feel our connection. /And Maybe then we would tread on her with lighter feet.This following video is from one of my personal heros David Attenborough, he has such inteligent things to say and advocate for our planet and people... take care Beccaxx
